I want to fight Gegard Mousasi in April on CBS. That's what I want to do. As far as how do I think that fight would go, I'll win! I'm confident in that. His kickboxing is alright, his boxing is alright and he's not going to outwrestle me and he ain't going to submit me (laughing).
Also, don't count out Mo, it's stupid to do so. Mousasi is a once and a lifetime MMA fighter, but Mo is a once in a lifetime athlete and anything can happen.
This would be a good fight, hopefully it happens. I would like to see Mo keep it standing if he is so confident in his boxing, because he would get picked apart.
Mo wouldn't and shouldn't do that. His "boxing" is more of a result of unparalled speed, and very heavy hands. Mousasi has very good technique AND is very fast. Mo would die in there. He'd probably have to slam him and try to G&P him out.

Mo needs some more fights before running his mouth like that. But I get him -- he's looking for exposure, and a fight with Gegard would be a good marquee match for him.
Mo is a freakish athlete though, so I'd give him a punchers chance...
yep King mo needs to get punched in the face... for a guy that hasn't beaten anyone revelant or top tiers in his weight divisions yet(MW,LHW,HW)...he sure does have a mouth... On the good note, he does have a appeal about that will put butts in seats...It seems he's taking the Lesnar route to fame... make fans hate him & just want to see him get beat up...
Why do people take King Mo so seriously? The guy is just trying to make a name for himself, and it's working. He's only fought 6 times and hasn't beaten anyone good, yet here we are talking about him.
Well then what he did worked. Honestly hes lucky that Mousasi is the classiest fighter around, because if he had a short temper he would take this fight and smash King Mo's face. Easily
im cool with all lists but seriously... Leites was "argueablely" winning rounds vs Silva?? I guess his family might argue it. His game plan was to runaway and lay on his back. He lost 5 rounds to 0 and it cost him his place in the UFC.... i would hardly call that any kind of road map to beating silva imo
2nd time i've heard some weird stuff like this... Cote 1st... now Leites.... neither came close to threatening Anderson imo and he was toyying with both.
Anderson belongs on the list imo he would crush Mousasi imo. Gegard obv potentially a top guy but who has he beat that makes him top 5?? seriously?? Babalu and Sokky??? If that makes you top 5 Chuck can come back and be top 5 in 2 months again.
btw watched Sokky vs (damn cant spell japanese name) in dynamite last night.... worst fight of the year?? wow. If you thought Kimbo and Houston stood around for awhile... hehe ref pulled out 2 yellow cards on em in the 3rd round alone.

While I like Gegard and seriously enjoy watching him dismantle guys, I must admit the ballwashing you guys are putting on him is nearly unparalleled...and that's saying a LOT since this is MMA Forum.
Oh noes, people are actually posting reasons why the like a specific fighter, after all this is an MMA forum, I feel as though it should be filled with more QQ posts, such as this fine example.
Yeah the only problem is that no one has been able to touch that chin in order to test it and that's why he has been so dominant over the last few years!
Fact is you don't need a good chin when you don't get hit! See Lyoto see Anderson these guys got never tested so far. Maybe Silva has a class chin and Lyoto too how do we know?
GSP got his chin tested against Serra many ppl reflect on that! When you get caught by a big shot, nearly everybodys lights go out it's human!
I wouldn't want to see this fight happen at this point. King Mo is too cocky and should think things straight, before he demands fights like this. Maybe in 2 years or so..
I don't think people are giving King Mo enough credit. I think he would actually give Gegard a very tough fight, his toughest fight yet. If he could utilise his wrestling then gegard could be in serious trouble. Im not disputing that Mousasi isnt a great fighter, but i seriously think people are getting a little too giddy about him here, sought of like the Machida hype pre Rua. Your all acting as if he cant be touched, i believe Mo would surprise a lot of people in this fight.
Also what is with the doubting Silva nonsense. Did you guys not watch the Griffin fight, I have never seen a very solid fighter in Forrest Griffin get humiliated like that in MMA. Andersons timing and precision was just surreal in that fight. People are doubting his TDD and his vulnerability to GNP, are you serious?
I agree, i dont think King Mo would win this fight but he wouldn't go down without a epic struggle. King Mo was the best wrestler in the USA for 3 years.... Very few in this world have the skills in wrestling like this guy, and we all know what happens when a fighter gets beating down... They Go To There Roots, I think King Mo would EASILY pick him up and slam him HARD, but from there he most likely lose.... But still not a slaugter fight, just think King Mo has never lost so he will put EVERYTHING on the line to win this. And plus i was there live with King Mo's last fight against Whitehead, he has VERY heavy hands if he can slam Gegard hard enough and slip a punch in, it could be good night for Mousasi, but thats only because its MMA anything can happen.... I see Mousasi picking him apart to the point where he gets so annoyed he takes him down, and then from there Gregard would get full mount and ground and pound to victory.... Until of coarse Dan Henderson comes up to LHW to teach the NEW fighters some Old tricks lol!
